Tom's shoes are a very community oriented shoe company, that makes absolutely fabulous shoes, and donates shoes for every pair purchased.

"Grant Parsons?" Did you mean "Gram Parsons?" Or did this moron really say "Grant?"

I wondered the same thing? Grant? maybe Gram Parson's of the Flying burrito bros fame. He does kinda have that style.
